Pelican Clip, Shibuichi

Pelican Clip, Shibuichi

Inspired by the traditional marine hardware of the same name. Hand carved master. Lost wax cast in Rhode Island and hand finished in house. To open the clasp, push the cord up over the end of the hinged arm. There is no need to push extra cord through the opening to do so. To close, simply push the cord back in place. When closed, any force that goes into the mechanism helps to close it even more securely. See the pictures for recommendations on different ways to wear this design. The cord options are both 100% cotton, spun in Tennessee. The Indigo option is hand dyed here in Maine by the talented Casey Ryder of Port Fiber. The waxed option I treat with bees-wax in house. Both cord options will fade with wear; the indigo like raw denim, the waxed will darken to tan or grey based on your lifestyle. picture of indigo cord to come

To determine your wrist size measure at the thinnest point, snug but not tight. Listed sizing is based on wrapping the cord as illustrated in the last picture. By experimenting with different wrapping methods the fit can be fine-tuned considerably. For more information on sizing please visit the FAQ page under the INFO tab. Custom sizes are available for a modest fee; contact me to discuss.

I am a small business. Myself & occasionally a talented friend assisting. If you send a message I respond. If you order a piece of jewelry I am wrapping it up and shipping it out. Wearing all the hats can be stressful but is also really rewarding. It means I get to know the people who enjoy my work, and to feel like every element of the operation is an expression of who I am. As an artist, I consider it all connected; this website, my business card, the pictures I post on social media and of course the work itself are all part of the same creative output.
